During a recent government meeting, officials discussed a potential opportunity to acquire the property currently occupied by the shallow shaft, which could lead to a consolidation of town facilities. One member highlighted the benefits of centralizing town structures, suggesting that this acquisition could create a more cohesive town campus, including the town building and a new facility to replace the shallow shaft.

The proposal aims to establish a central hub for town government activities, which would enhance accessibility for residents. The discussion also touched on the future of the old firehouse, with speculation about its potential use by local law enforcement.

However, concerns were raised about the urgency of the opportunity, as the shallow shaft plans to develop the site into townhouses, which could eliminate the chance for acquisition. The conversation hinted at the need for further discussions outside the public meeting context to explore this opportunity in greater detail.
